UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Pool Re Services Limited is seeking one supplier to provide internal audit services. The requirement covers the organisation’s internal audit provision, including the technical and financial responses needed to support appointment of a single tenderer. It is a services contract for work delivered in the United Kingdom. The buyer is a sub-central public authority based in London. The procurement is classified as internal audit services, making it relevant to internal audit firms, accountancy practices and specialist risk and assurance providers able to deliver an outsourced or co-sourced audit service. The requirement is presented as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so smaller specialist firms may compete alongside larger providers where they can demonstrate the required technical capability and capacity.

The process has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through a competitive flexible procedure. It has two stages: a Procurement Specific Questionnaire followed by an Invitation to Tender. Pool Re will use the questionnaire to shortlist the three highest-scoring responses, including any tied scores at the threshold, and will issue ITT documents to those shortlisted tenderers. Enquiries close at 14:00 on 16 September 2026, and expressions of interest are due by 14:00 on 2 October 2026. The award decision is due by 18 December 2026. The estimated value is £1 excluding VAT and £2 including VAT. The initial contract runs from 11 January 2027 to 10 January 2030, with up to two one-year extensions available until 10 January 2032. Evaluation is 75% technical quality and 25% price.

This opportunity suits an internal audit provider with the professional capability to plan and deliver internal audit services for Pool Re Services Limited. Suppliers should be able to produce a strong technical response addressing the buyer’s technical questions, alongside a clear and competitive pricing schedule. The two-stage process means firms must first demonstrate their suitability through the Procurement Specific Questionnaire before being invited to submit a full tender; only the highest-scoring three responses, plus equal-scoring responses, proceed to the ITT stage. The quality weighting is substantially higher than the price weighting, favouring providers able to show a credible audit approach, relevant assurance expertise, effective service delivery and sufficient resources for a multi-year engagement. The requirement is suitable for SMEs.
